The POKER trial examined the difference between propofol and ketofol when it comes to adverse respiratory events.They found no significant difference between the groups.Given the increased risk of medication errors using two medication instead of one, you may want to avoid the mixture.

Ketorolac has an analgesic ceiling effect lower than you may have thought.When comparing IV doses of 10mg, 15mg and 30mg they found no difference in analgesic effect.Given the risks of side effects may increase with higher doses, you may want to stick to the lower 10mg dose.
